As always, it is a case of shopping around. It amuses me that you can get a new tyre on line, opt for local fitting. and get it fitted by a local branch of a big tyre network cheaper than going straight to them

I've found with tyres now that at the local places soon as you mention online their prices suddenly take a sharp tumble downwards. Its worked for me the last few times, saved the hassle I found.

Just had great result from Black Circle two new Dunlop Maxx RT fitted £200.00 for two front tyres fitted by Spa Motors Leamington. Sold two front Federal tyres that were a very bad ride on my MPS for £65.00. The price of £200 was between £40 and £80 cheaper than others. Great result now my MPS has Dunlop on all corners and the ride plus lower noise level is great.

Most people can't wait to get rid of the Dunlops!
Well it just goes to show!! I have driven many cars over the years some fast some very fast and raced Mini Coopers in the late 60's and 70,s I have never had a problem with Dunlop tyres. They are not the trendy tyres like a lot like to fit. I visited the factory a few years back and was impressed with the research being done. Each to their own. I never follow the trend LOL.

Even in the 60`s there was a tyre called the Dunlop SP Sport which had phenomenal grip in the wet. Didn`t last 5 minutes though.
